For the information of viewers, this was made beside St Lawrence's Church Bishopstone, Herefordshire The church is open to visitors during the summer months - all welcome! By chance, I was lucky to be there when it was being filmed - and I was fascinated to hear Marlow's excellent knowledge first hand!
Hello :) was lovely to meet you and it is a lovely church you have there. When you said you wanted me to publish where it was I thought you were joking :)
You have to marvel at the lifecycle of fluks, it what stops me nibbling on them. Buy some supermarket watercress and plant it up, often the roots already there
Brilliant video Marlow. My granddad told me all these things. I am lucky enough to have a good bed of watercress near me. I was all ways told if live stock was around the Brook to not eat the cress without putting it through a bath of salt water first.. liver fluke, that you touched on thankfully, as most people don't know.
I'd like to know which plants we can eat freshly picked and which only after washing or cooking? I've often eaten wild garlic no hassle, never considered the potential for pathogens, it often grows riverside.
We have 2 small wildlife ponds, here in Whitby, Yorkshire and I am pretty sure I have just been thinning out the "fools watercress" as it has tried to take over. Still though, I am in doubt as whether to eat/harvest it as you mention other similar species, but without actually showing examples and exact differences. Could you please be clearer and show actual examples for comparison, of the plants you mention.......
Unfortunately yes :) got a 4 year old and a carnivorous wife… Plus we still haven’t found a spaghetti tree, and we do have to wipe our bums on a daily basis :)
Fabulous but spoilt by constant digital peek distortion on the voice. Levels too high and not difficult to set correctly. May not matter to most people but matters to me. Sorry but can't take the audio engineer out of an audio engineer. Great video, great subject matter. So near yet so far.
Hi Colin. I have figured out my new mic system now and have turned it down! Future vids shouldn't have this issue.. I'm a forager not a sound engineer so all advice and constructive criticism welcome :)
I love these videos, the pennywort is a favourite of mine as my wife always gets concerned when I pick things out of a wall and eat them so casually
The best wild foods channel on youtube
Thanx :)

Fools Parsley, Hemlock Water Dropwort, Water Parsnip, it is scary territory. I'm quite experienced but still avoid Umbellifers unless I am 1000% sure
Good advice about liver fluke and other contaminants. Salmonella and E. coli 0157 notable UK outbreaks associated with watercress (and farm animals}.

Love this stuff. Takes me back to when i was a boy!! Never went home to eat, just took it from the trees, bushes and ground
Thanks Marlo. Great information as always .
My pleasure!
Thanks for sharing Marlow

He sounds like a great granddad :)
A very informative video as always Marlow
Superb thank you 👍🏼
I have an old variety of Celery on my allotment, it looks just like WDW if i hadn't have cultivated it i certainly would not eat it.
Great video. My understanding was that Ivy leaved toadflax is edible though??
It is, but it tastes awful
@@WildFoodUK1 Ah. That is a relief because I quite like it haha

I admit that because of the hemlock and hemlock water dropwort i stay away from that family
It’s always best to stay safe and stick to what you can be totally sure of!

Man got excited about his hogweed
What does cress smell like?
